How do I remove/change background or remove subjects?

I photographed a wedding and have some "eye sores" in the background (people, power lines, cars) and either want to remove the background and change to a solid color or import a different scenery. How can I do this? Or would it be easier to remove the subjects and place them on a solid background? Some of the lines are tight so using the cutting/painting tool will be difficult to outline my subects..is there an easy way to do any of this? Thanks so much!! And how would I import say a picture of a field (just save to computer then upload?) and use it as background?

It depends on which version of Photoshop that you have to a degree but in essence if you want to just remove certain objects from the background but not the whole background you need tools like the "Clone Stamp Tool" the "Healing Brush" and in later versions of PS the "Patch Tool" - in later versions you can use "context aware" in each of these tools to make the effect even better.
If you want to remove the entire background and replace it with something else then you are going to neet to select the objects that you want to keep (probably the people) and then use the "refine edge" tools to make the selection even better. There are other ways of selecting and removing objects (for example using the Alpha Chanels) but the methods I have just mentioned are the most common.
Because they are common there are pleanty of tutorials on Youtube - just search using any of the terms above (including the version of PS in the search criteria).
Good luck and have some fun!
Cheers

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

Using footage from my iPhone 4, how can I remove the black bars on the sides of my picture? Or change the color to white...

My footage is vertical and there are two black bars on the side filling in the rest of the picture. I want to imbed this into PowerPoint without the black bars on the side. Any suggestions on how I can remove them or at least change the color to white? I changed the background color in View > Background > White, but it was only for editing purposes and didn't keep the color after rendering.

To change the background to white, in FCE, place the video on track V2 and place a color matte generator on track V1. The default color for the color matte is grey so you'll need to change it to white using the color picker.

How do I remove the background from a movie / sound problems

Apologies, not really sure what I’m doing…
How do I remove the background from a movie I made?
I imported a QT movie at 368/272 pixels, but for whatever
reason the HTML jumps up to 550/400.
The movie is still 368/272 but there is a background border
making it 550/400. Tried all sorts of settings in Publish but
can’t get rid of it. Can I keep the movie (and controller)
and not the background?
I can get round it by changing the background colour, but
surely there must be another way.
Also: My QT file was fine but the .flv has a stuttering
sound, any idea what could cause that?
Thanks, and Thanks!

How do you remove or change red border in Livecycle required

How do you remove or change red border in Livecycle required field?
When I make a field required, it makes the pdf show a thick ugly red border. How can I change that?

Now you see me, now you don’t.
Interactive forms highlight where you should enter data. To turn this highlighting on, click the Highlight Existing Fields button.
The fillable fields within the form (see example below) are highlighted in a light blue color. This lets you enter information into these fields. By default, Adobe® Reader® displays a red border around required fields:
Pretty dang ugly, huh?
Fortunately, it can be turned off. This script (placed on a form:ready event) will do the trick:
    if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat")
app.runtimeHighlight = false;
Here’s how we achieve this:
Part 1:
In the Object palette, click the Value tab. Under Type, choose User Entered – Required.
First, we need to define which fields are mandantory/required. Click within the desired field to select it.
You can assign as many mandatory fields as the form requires. When you are finished doing this, enter the Script Editor.
          Note:   To show or hide the Script Editor window as you need it, click the toggle.
Select the form:ready event. Be sure JavaScript is the chosen scripting language to run on the Client.
Type the following script into the window:
    if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat")
       app.runtimeHighlight = false;
Save your work.
Part 2:
From the File menu, choose Form Properties.
Click the Form Validation tab.
               Click Color Failed Fields.
               Check the box next to Color fields and fail their validations.
To turn borders off, click the arrow next to Border Color, then click the box.
To define a background color, click the arrow next to Background Color, the choose More Colors.
Select the first available empty box, then click Define Custom Colors.
Define a custom color per your visual identity guidelines.
When you are finished, click on Add to Custom Colors, then click OK.
Click OK on the Form Properties window.
Save your work.
The result? When the user tries to submit a form without first entering data into the required fields, an alert message is displayed.
When the user clicks OK to clear the error message, form submission is cancelled.
Failed fields are highlighted in an attractive way—without red borders.

How do you remove the background from an image

how do you remove the background from an image thathas a white background?

First, change the background layer to a normal layer if needed, by dragging the padlock to the trash can.
Then use the quick selection tool or magic wand tool to select your background.
Now you can either delete the background, or click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square. This icon will convert the selection to a mask.
The advantage of the mask is, it is non-destructible. In that you can change your mind at any time. Whereas deleting pixels is permanent once you close the file and there is no duplicate files. (A way around this is to make a duplicate layer and hide it. But that does make the file larger.)

Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Are they linked to my iTunes account so I could then be able to re-install them on a newer 4th Gen iPod Touch?
I'm re-reading your message and not sure what you mean by wanting to re-install them to a newer ipod? They won't be able to purchase from your account after you restore as new your old ipod if that's what you're asking. But you could still sync "their" ipod with your iTunes library.
If you're asking about setting up a newer ipod for yourself, here's how you want to do that. Before you do that Restore on your old ipod follow these steps:
1)Connect your older ipod to itunes, right click on the device and Transfer Purchases to bring over any Apps & Music you purchased on your touch at the itunes store but isn't on your computer.
2)Also right click and choose to Backup your ipod.
In [iPhone and iPod touch: About backups|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766] > About Syncing and Backups >iTunes will back up the following information you will find the list of what's included in backups.
Please note backups do not include data like music from your CD's or Apps (although App data is backed up). In step #1 you transferred to your PC any Apps or Music purchased from the iTunes store. It's up to you to make sure you have any other music in your iTunes library.
3) Connect your new device. iTunes will give you the opportunity to restore from a backup. Select the backup you just made.
4)Finally, sync the device selecting the Music, Photos, etc that are in your iTunes library but were not part of the backup data.
Hope that helps.
